Today I tried to make a fire in the living room fireplace. It's an insert, and not one of the good ones I think, and we've had occasional problems with it not drawing properly. (It's happened 2-3 times in the 2 years we've been in the house, during which time we've had probably a dozen "successful" fires in that fireplace.) Well it happened again today, and the living room filled with smoke. Had to open windows, set up fans, pour water over the smoldering fire to put it completely out, etc. I managed to contain the smoke to the living room, but still that sucked and we never got to enjoy a fire. I let my wife know and we're going to look into having the insert serviced or replaced.
